Sculpted Weirdos




I have been creating these weird sculptures for a number of years now. I don't really know where they come from since they obviously have no connection to my illustrations or paintings. I do not use any reference and I am not emulating another artist. I do not plan or sketch ideas beforehand. When I work 2-D, I always do thumbnails and carefully consider my compositions. So these sculptures are quite the opposite. They really just emerge from my imagination and I produce them rather quickly. I use wood, foam, sculpey, and found objects to produce them. I never think of a commercial market for this 3-D work; the process is just for me...brain cleaning.
